What will the consist be? XAM,XL,XBR,XF,XFH or XAM,XBR,XF,XF,XFH? Or they
could be really radical and remove the XAM from the set that arrives from
Melbourne in the morning and place it on the set arriving from Grafton that
afternoon - that would leave six car sets to Melbourne, BrisVegas and
Murwillumbah, but a five car set to Grafton.

Perhaps they could go in for refurbishment with more comfortable seats?
